On Wednesday, Sony announced the PlayStation 4, and while there is plenty to digest from the unveiling, one of the most important aspects of any console are the games that a user will play. Luckily, Sony announced some exciting new games to look forward to in addition to the PlayStation 4.

Wednesday night belonged to Sony’s PlayStation 4. After much speculation, some leaks and bated breath, the PS4 was announced, as previously reported by IBTimes. While there is no set release date yet, Sony did give those in attendance in New York, as well as the many people watching the live stream of the announcement, a look at some of the games that will be featured on the PS4.

“Knack,” “Killzone: Shadow Fall,” “Driveclub,” “Infamous: Second Son,” “Deep Down” and “The Witness” will be PS4 games, Sony said. A new “Final Fantasy” entry will be unveiled at E3 in June while Blizzard’s “Diablo III” will be heading to the PlayStation 3 and the PS4. Bungie’s next big game, “Destiny,” will also be a PS4 title, as will “Watch Dogs.”

“Knack” is being developed by Japan Studios, makers of “Ape Escape,” with the aid of lead PS4 architect Mark Cerny, reports Polygon.
